17 Ac yr oedd rhandir llwyth Manasse, (canys efe oedd gyntaf‐anedig Joseff,) i Machir, cyntaf‐anedig Manasse, tad Gilead: oherwydd ei fod efe yn rhyfelwr, yr oedd Gilead a Basan yn eiddo ef. 2 Ac yr oedd rhandir i’r rhan arall o feibion Manasse, yn ôl eu teuluoedd; sef i feibion Abieser, ac i feibion Helec, ac i feibion Asriel, ac i feibion Sichem, ac i feibion Heffer, ac i feibion Semida: dyma feibion Manasse mab Joseff, sef y gwrywiaid, yn ôl eu teuluoedd.
3 Ond Salffaad mab Heffer, mab Gilead, mab Machir, mab Manasse, nid oedd iddo feibion, ond merched: a dyma enwau ei ferched ef; Mala, a Noa, Hogla, Milca, a Thirsa: 4 Y rhai a ddaethant o flaen Eleasar yr offeiriad, ac o flaen Josua mab Nun, ac o flaen y tywysogion, gan ddywedyd, Yr Arglwydd a orchmynnodd i Moses roddi i ni etifeddiaeth ymysg ein brodyr: am hynny efe a roddodd iddynt etifeddiaeth, yn ôl gair yr Arglwydd, ymysg brodyr eu tad. 5 A deg rhandir a syrthiodd i Manasse, heblaw gwlad Gilead a Basan, y rhai sydd tu hwnt i’r Iorddonen; 6 Canys merched Manasse a etifeddasant etifeddiaeth ymysg ei feibion ef: a gwlad Gilead oedd i’r rhan arall o feibion Manasse.
7 A therfyn Manasse oedd o Aser i Michmethath, yr hon sydd gyferbyn â Sichem; a’r terfyn oedd yn myned ar y llaw ddeau, hyd breswylwyr Entappua. 8 Gwlad Tappua oedd eiddo Manasse: ond Tappua, yr hon oedd ar derfyn Manasse, oedd eiddo meibion Effraim. 9 A’r terfyn sydd yn myned i waered i afon Cana, o du deau yr afon. Y dinasoedd hyn, eiddo Effraim, oedd ymhlith dinasoedd Manasse: a therfyn Manasse sydd o du y gogledd i’r afon, a’i ddiwedd oedd y môr. 10 Y deau oedd eiddo Effraim, a’r gogledd eiddo Manasse; a’r môr oedd ei derfyn ef: ac yn Aser yr oeddynt yn cyfarfod, o’r gogledd; ac yn Issachar, o’r dwyrain. 11 Yn Issachar hefyd ac yn Aser yr oedd gan Manasse, Beth‐sean a’i threfydd, ac Ibleam a’i threfydd, a thrigolion Dor a’i threfydd, a thrigolion En‐dor a’i threfydd, a phreswylwyr Taanach a’i threfydd, a thrigolion Megido a’i threfydd; tair talaith. 12 Ond ni allodd meibion Manasse yrru ymaith drigolion y dinasoedd hynny; eithr mynnodd y Canaaneaid breswylio yn y wlad honno. 13 Eto pan gryfhaodd meibion Israel, hwy a osodasant y Canaaneaid dan dreth: ni yrasant hwynt ymaith yn llwyr.
14 A meibion Joseff a lefarasant wrth Josua, gan ddywedyd, Paham y rhoddaist i mi, yn etifeddiaeth, un afael ac un rhan, a minnau yn bobl aml, wedi i’r Arglwydd hyd yn hyn fy mendithio? 15 A Josua a ddywedodd wrthynt, Os pobl aml ydwyt, dos i fyny i’r coed, a thor goed i ti yno yng ngwlad y Pheresiaid, a’r cewri, od yw mynydd Effraim yn gyfyng i ti. 16 A meibion Joseff a ddywedasant, Ni bydd y mynydd ddigon i ni: hefyd y mae cerbydau heyrn gan yr holl Ganaaneaid sydd yn trigo yn y dyffryndir, gan y rhai sydd yn Beth‐sean a’i threfi, a chan y rhai sydd yng nglyn Jesreel. 17 A Josua a ddywedodd wrth dŷ Joseff, wrth Effraim ac wrth Manasse, gan ddywedyd, Pobl aml ydwyt, a nerth mawr sydd gennyt: ni fydd i ti un rhan yn unig: 18 Eithr bydd y mynydd eiddot ti: canys coediog yw, arloesa ef; a bydd ei eithafoedd ef eiddot ti: canys ti a yrri ymaith y Canaaneaid, er bod cerbydau heyrn ganddynt, ac er eu bod yn gryfion.

17 This was the allotment for the tribe of Manasseh(A) as Joseph’s firstborn,(B) that is, for Makir,(C) Manasseh’s firstborn. Makir was the ancestor of the Gileadites, who had received Gilead(D) and Bashan(E) because the Makirites were great soldiers. 2 So this allotment was for the rest of the people of Manasseh(F)—the clans of Abiezer,(G) Helek, Asriel,(H) Shechem, Hepher(I) and Shemida.(J) These are the other male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph by their clans.
3 Now Zelophehad son of Hepher,(K) the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons but only daughters,(L) whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah and Tirzah. 4 They went to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders and said, “The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our relatives.” So Joshua gave them an inheritance along with the brothers of their father, according to the Lord’s command.(M) 5 Manasseh’s share consisted of ten tracts of land besides Gilead and Bashan east of the Jordan,(N) 6 because the daughters of the tribe of Manasseh received an inheritance among the sons. The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the descendants of Manasseh.
7 The territory of Manasseh extended from Asher(O) to Mikmethath(P) east of Shechem.(Q) The boundary ran southward from there to include the people living at En Tappuah. 8 (Manasseh had the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah(R) itself, on the boundary of Manasseh, belonged to the Ephraimites.) 9 Then the boundary continued south to the Kanah Ravine.(S) There were towns belonging to Ephraim lying among the towns of Manasseh, but the boundary of Manasseh was the northern side of the ravine and ended at the Mediterranean Sea. 10 On the south the land belonged to Ephraim, on the north to Manasseh. The territory of Manasseh reached the Mediterranean Sea and bordered Asher(T) on the north and Issachar(U) on the east.(V)
11 Within Issachar(W) and Asher, Manasseh also had Beth Shan,(X) Ibleam(Y) and the people of Dor,(Z) Endor,(AA) Taanach(AB) and Megiddo,(AC) together with their surrounding settlements (the third in the list is Naphoth[a]).(AD)
12 Yet the Manassites were not able(AE) to occupy these towns, for the Canaanites were determined to live in that region. 13 However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they subjected the Canaanites to forced labor but did not drive them out completely.(AF)
14 The people of Joseph said to Joshua, “Why have you given us only one allotment and one portion for an inheritance? We are a numerous people, and the Lord has blessed us abundantly.”(AG)
15 “If you are so numerous,” Joshua answered, “and if the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you, go up into the forest(AH) and clear land for yourselves there in the land of the Perizzites(AI) and Rephaites.(AJ)”
16 The people of Joseph replied, “The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who live in the plain have chariots fitted with iron,(AK) both those in Beth Shan(AL) and its settlements and those in the Valley of Jezreel.”(AM)
17 But Joshua said to the tribes of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—“You are numerous and very powerful. You will have not only one allotment(AN) 18 but the forested hill country(AO) as well. Clear it, and its farthest limits will be yours; though the Canaanites have chariots fitted with iron(AP) and though they are strong, you can drive them out.”

17 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the Lord he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;
6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
7 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.
8 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
9 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.
12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not utterly drive them out.
14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the Lord hath blessed me hitherto?
15 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
18 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
